-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi!
I assume I'm just missing something stupid, but I just don't get what it is. I'm trying to backup from server "vserver811" (aka "schizo") to server "kaotix", using Backupninja [1]. On kaotix, user "backupschizo" is supposed to store the files to /home/backupschizo. Some details were [replaced] to protect my privacy. vserver811:~# backupninja -d -n [lines_without_warnings_removed] Info: >>>> starting action /etc/backup.d/90-transfer.rdiff (because of - --now) Debug: yes Debug: ssh -o PreferredAuthentications=publickey [FQDN_of_kaotix] -l backupschizo 'echo -n 1' Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '[IP_address_of_kaotix]' to the list of known hosts. host is alive Debug: Connected to [FQDN of kaotix] as backupschizo successfully Debug: ssh -o PreferredAuthentications=publickey [FQDN_of_kaotix] -l backupschizo '/usr/bin/rdiff-backup -V'" Debug: rdiff-backup --force --remove-older-than 60D [EMAIL PROTECTED]::/home/backupschizo/schizo Warning: Fatal Error: Bad directory /home/backupschizo/schizo. It doesn't appear to be an rdiff-backup destination dir Warning: Failed removing backups older than 60D. Debug: /usr/bin/rdiff-backup --print-statistics --include '/var/spool/cron/crontabs' --include '/var/backups' --include '/etc' - --include '/root' --include '/home' --include '/usr/local/bin' --include '/usr/local/sbin' --include '/var/lib/dpkg/status' --include '/var/lib/dpkg/status-old' --exclude '/*' / [EMAIL PROTECTED]::/home/backupschizo/schizo Warning: su: Permission denied Warning: Failed backup up source 'schizo' Warning: <<<< finished action /etc/backup.d/90-transfer.rdiff: WARNING Debug: send report to root Info: FINISHED: 4 actions run. 0 fatal. 0 error. 5 warning. So, the real (first) problem seems to be this: rdiff-backup --force --remove-older-than 60D [EMAIL PROTECTED]::/home/backupschizo/schizo Warning: Fatal Error: Bad directory /home/backupschizo/schizo. It doesn't appear to be an rdiff-backup destination dir Warning: Failed removing backups older than 60D. While the second warning makes sense (rdiff-backup never wrote anything to this directory as it thinks it is not able to), the first one make me puzzle. Looking at this error message, it seems like [EMAIL PROTECTED] cannot write to /home/backupschizo/schizo However, it can: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ touch /home/backupschizo/schizo/test [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -lah /home/backupschizo/schizo/test - -rw-r--r-- 1 backupschizo backupschizo 0 2005-09-06 22:38 /home/backupschizo/schizo/test [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -lah /home/backupschizo/* insgesamt 8,0K drwxr-xr-x 2 backupschizo backupschizo 4,0K 2005-09-06 22:38 . drwxr-xr-x 4 backupschizo backupschizo 4,0K 2005-09-06 22:37 .. - -rw-r--r-- 1 backupschizo backupschizo 0 2005-09-06 22:38 test I also tried removing /home/backupschizo/schizo/ and then retrying rdiff-backup with the usage given by backupninja. However, this gave exactly the same errors. rdiff-backup is the same version on bother servers: vserver811:~# rdiff-backup --version rdiff-backup 0.13.4 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ rdiff-backup --version rdiff-backup 0.13.4 I'm also wondering how or whether it is possible to use rdiff-backup on a different port than 22? Thanks in advance for your help!
